integrate people with disabilities more fully into every aspect of life

Economic disability is affecting everyone right now and for the foreseeable future. Millions of Americans with physical and mental disabilities are and will be impacted even more dramatically. Dependent or assisted can too easily become expendable.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month, 2008A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

“… Millions of Americans live with disabilities, and many other Americans will become disabled at some point in their lives. To integrate people with disabilities more fully into every aspect of life, our country is working to advance greater freedoms at work, in schools, and throughout communities. By expanding employment opportunities and fighting false perceptions that hinder people living with disabilities from joining the workforce, we can uphold America's moral values, strengthen our economy, and make America a more hopeful place. …”Caregivingly Yours, Patrick Leerwebsite: http://www.caregivinglyyours.com/videos: http://www.youtube.com/daddyleermusings: http://www.lairofcachalot.blogspot.com/
